Training Machines

Of course! On decathlon.com.gr you will find an awesome collection of strength training equipment designed for every athlete level. Our range includes adjustable and folding weight benches, multi-gyms with weight stacks or pulleys, heavy-duty power racks and power cages, as well as standalone power towers or wall- and door-mounted pull-up bars.

To create a complete and safe home gym, essential equipment includes:
1. An adjustable weight bench (flat, incline, decline): For chest presses, shoulder presses, and dumbbell exercises.
2. A Power Rack or Power Cage: Essential for safe barbell squats, overhead presses, and benching, equipped with adjustable safety spotter arms.
3. A Pull-up Bar or Power Tower station: For pull-ups, dips, and core abdominal work.
4. A Cable Multi-Gym machine: For isolation exercises such as lat pulldowns, seated rows, and tricep pushdowns.

Space requirements and flooring choices are structured as follows:
Space: An adjustable weight bench requires about 1.5 - 2 sq.m. A power rack or multi-gym station requires at least 3 - 5 sq.m. of clear floor area around it for loading weight plates onto the barbell safely. Ceiling height should be at least 2.20 - 2.40 meters to allow full clearance during pull-ups.
Flooring: Dense rubber floor matting (15mm - 20mm+ thickness) is essential. It protects your subfloor from heavy structure weights, absorbs impact vibrations, minimizes noise, and prevents equipment from slipping.

Strength equipment that facilitates compound multi-joint movements burns the most calories because it engages large muscle groups simultaneously:
Power Rack / Cage: Executing heavy squats and deadlifts triggers the highest metabolic response and caloric expenditure.
Pull-up Bar & Dip Station (Power Tower): Bodyweight movements (pull-ups, dips) demand intense core and back engagement, elevating heart rate.
Cable Multi-Gyms used in circuit training: Rapidly transitioning between exercises without resting keeps your heart rate elevated, maximizing fat burning.

Decathlon fitness equipment comes with a 2-year warranty. Additionally, at Decathlon you will find fitness machines spare parts and accessories along with detailed assembly guides for years of safe use.

Regular maintenance ensures smooth operation and safety!
Check bolts & connections: Periodically tighten frame bolts, nuts, and safety locking pins on power racks, benches, and pull-up stations.
Lubricate pulleys & guide rods: Apply silicone spray to weight stack guide rods and pulley bearings for quiet, fluid motion.
Clean upholstery: Wipe down the seat and backrest padding after every session with a damp cloth to remove sweat that degrades synthetic leather/PU fabrics.
Inspect cables: Check pulley steel cables for any fraying or damage to the plastic coating and replace them immediately if wear is detected.
